The Boeing Company has just unveiled its new CH-47F prototype to the U.S. Army. The prototype is the first of the massive fleet of 452 CH-47F Chinook helicopters.
The 21st century aircraft is designed for the future with a restructured airframe made of single-piece machined components for extra strength and a Rockwell Collins Common Avionics Architecture System advanced digital cockpit, fully equipped with digital map display and mission data transfer system.
Two 4,868-horsepower Honeywell engines power the CH-47F, making it reach whopping speeds greater than 175 mph and transport payloads weighing more than 21,000 lbs. The CH-47F, with the Robertson Aviation Extended Range Fuel System, has a mission radius greater than 400 miles.
